Buzzmaster (10:00 AM)
Goooooooooood morning!
Paul (ft Worth)
Mornin' Buzzeroo...i have a staff meeting to attend, so i cannot participate in the chat. Give Rastall my best and remind Clinton to take his Ginko Biloba.
Marc (Big D)
Mornin' folks!
Harry Hogge (Daytona)
Rubbin' son, is racin'.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Good morning, people! Let's get this Hump Day goin'.
Joe Swanson (Cleveland)
Post my comments please. i tried to get on sportsnation tv but never made it? how do you get comments posted. i think colin is crazy, he dresses funny and doesnt add anything to the show. I think that the indians really screwed up by trading away all of There good players. what does sprtsnation think? I am not looking forward to the browns season either. I think we need to dump anderson and quinn and bring in someone good. What do you think
Buzzmaster (10:01 AM)
I think you got this message in about 2 minutes too late. Because it belongs in the ONB, but we've already started, so it no longer qualifies.
Greg (Ellicott City)
Oh where, oh where did my little buzz go?
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Glad to see Harry finally spelled his last name right.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Buzz is late. By the way we need to have Michelle on here for a chat. I have a fever and the only prescription is more Michelle.
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
Check the timestamp there Buster.
Chris (Philly)
Joe, I think you are lost. First Take is thattaway ----->
Mike (Boston)
yo buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Zach (Bloomingon,MN)
Wazzup,Buzz?
Nate (Madison)
It's Friday right?
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
I wish.
Reggie (Boston)
I just read on CNN that some girl is suing the college that she just recently graduated from because she is having trouble finding work.
Buzzmaster (10:02 AM)
God I love this country.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
I think Joe Swanson needs to stop typing.
Neal (Philly)
Buzz, don't tweet about the ESPN cafeteria food or you could be fined.
Marc (Charlotte)
Where's Hochuli to flag Joe Swanson.
The Suits (Bristol)
Buzz, I better not catch you tweeting about any non-ESPN items. I'll just go ahead and get you another copy of that memo.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
And if there is any justice, the judge will laugh her right out of court.
Chris (Philly)
Buzz, are you going to sue Hamburger U for the same reason?
dave (home)
can she do that?
Buzzmaster (10:04 AM)
It's America. We're the home of dumb lawsuits.
Nate (Madison)
Someone from a 516 area code just called me, no idea who it is or where that area code is from.
Buzzmaster (10:04 AM)
I don't like when numbers I don't recognize call me. Not sure what I'm in for if I answer.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Since we have a lot of Boston people in this chat, I have one thing to tell you: do whatever you have to do to go to the McCartney concert at Fenway. Best. Concert. Ever.
Matt (IN)
The Cromartie thing was hilarious.
Marc (Big D)
Best thing about that Buzz is she had a 2.7 GPA and cites good attendance. 1. That isn't a top not GPA 2. It's not elementary school, who cares about attendance.
Zach (Bloomingon,MN)
Buzz doesn't tweet he eats
Clay (Charlotte)
Morning Buzz, I can't believe that no one on sportscenter mentioned the fact that the Jeter stab, that made top plays, he barely leaves the ground. Really he jumps like 6 inches, he's a professional athlete. Don't get me wrong great reaction, but not that impressive.
Matt (IN)
Good morning all. I've had to drink 2 cups of coffee to try and wake up. I haven't drank coffee all year.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Crap, due to the storm last night my sat. was out and I missed the Cardinals game.
Greg (Ellicott City)
I hid all of Buzz's pop tarts and replaced them with toasters strudel. That is why he is late.
Nate (Madison)
Clinton you have to read the reason, it gets even more ridiculous. Because the college didn't do a good enough job in finding her employment.
Nate (Madison)
I didn't answer and no voicemail was left so must have been a wrong number.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
*wikis 516* It's in New York, east of Queens.
Nate (Madison)
Dave, well someone can sue McDonalds because their coffee was too hot and they spilt it on their crotch.
Mike (Boston)
yes yes very dumb
dave (home)
that is true,buzz
Ryan (NY)
516 is where I am, Long Island. But it wasn't me who called
chaz (sa tx)
fined for twitt3ering about camp food. PRICELESS
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Twitter doesn't allow enough characters for Buzz to tweet what he eats. You know, cause he's fat.
Nate (Madison)
Queens, New York? Ummmm, yeah....no idea.
Eric (Livingston)
someone can sue michael jordan cause he looks too much like him
Matt (IN)
Robbi that was a crazy game. 2 good pitchers got knocked around, Pujols got spiked, Castillo sprained his ankle falling down the dugout steps. I think the craziest thing though was Todd Wellemyer actually throwing 2 scoreless innings
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Might have been one of those scam calls telling you that your car warranty is about to expire...
Reggie (Boston)
Man that Sox-Rays game was intense. 3 times the bases were juiced with 0 or 1 out, 3 times 0 runs were scored. Damn Longoria...
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
That lawyer who represents her is one of the 99% of lawyers who gives the rest of us a bad name.
ryan (medford,ma)
Buzz,my boss set up me for an intervention because I play streak for cash too much.I think he is crazy for saying that.
Mike (Boston)
i wonder how many people it took to restrain prince fielder
Buzzmaster (10:08 AM)
Baseball players are way too sensitive.
Mark (Boston)
Umm, so what is the deal with Julio Lugo? The guy gets traded to St. Louis and turns into Ty Cobb.
Buzzmaster (10:09 AM)
What's with Boston not knowing a good SS when they see it, but having the fans get on him so much that he can't perform well? Lugo, Renteria, Cabrera.
Matt (IN)
You don't pitch to Longoria with first base open. Just saying
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
All it took was one guy with a stack of Boca Burgers to distract Fielder.
Neal (Philly)
Prince only stopped because he found out the postgame buffet was ready.
Greg (Ellicott City)
The 99% of lawyers who actually do work give Tom (who spends all day on the MB) a bad name? I love this country.
Christian (High Point, NC)
BTW, I have to think David Ortiz hangs it up after this year. Saw him on Sunday (the 18-10 drubbing in Baltimore), and he looked lost at the plate.
Chris (Philly)
Yeah, the other 1% of lawyers chat online while billing a client.
Eric (Livingston)
It's all the steroids that makes them so sensitive. Rage isn't the only emotion roids invoke
JB (TX)
Lugo: clearly on the juice.
Michael Green (Belleville IL)
he is playing good for us
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Maybe getting out of the den of negativity that is Boston helped?
Greg (Ellicott City)
But Buzz had already ate half of Prince's buffet. You know, because hes fat.
Prince Fielder (LA)
Mike, all it took was a salad. They distracted me with a real nice spring mix and I forgot why I was mad
Brian (Madison, WI)
Prince obviously wasnt' trying that hard because it only took Casey McGehee and Bill Hall to restrain him.
Eric (Livingston)
It's the curse of the garciaparra
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
For the record, just to clear it up, I don't bill for this hour. I bill for the other 10-11 hours I work every weekday, and sometimes on the weekends.
Reggie (Boston)
I'm sure I'll get ripped for saying this but Ben Zobrist has been a better hitter than Longoria this season and was on deck. Outside of homeruns, Zobrist is better in most hitting categories.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Buzz, you're talking about a fanbase that recorded a song "We're Sorry Nomar" after they won the 2004 WS. All shortstops have to live under the Nomah Shadow.
Matt (IN)
I understand where the Dodgers were coming from, but I question the sanity of hitting a guy Prince's size. I get it that they wanted to retaliate against a good hitter but maybe next time try Braun. He's not as big.
Roy Williams (UNC)
Where's Darrin Haynes' post in the Comments section this morning?
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Put me in, Buzz. I'm ready to play.
dan (bangor,me)
Streak for cash i'm sure has cost people many jobs.I think ryan is a good example.
Michael Green (Belleville IL)
pujols is the best player to ever play the game today
Buzzmaster (10:12 AM)
Let me get this straight. Pujols is the best player to ever play today? Can someone check on that...do the Cardinals actually play today? We want to make sure, if we're going to be calling him the best player today.
Nate (Madison)
Wisconsin budget committee agreed to purchase high speed trains and to develop a high speed system. Heyyyyyy welcome to the 21st century.
Buzzmaster (10:13 AM)
Connecticut too! Yay. Welcome to the 20th century.
Rickey (Cooperstown)
If Rickey got hit in a 17-4 game, Rickey would steal all three bases because Rickey is the greatest.
Christian (High Point, NC)
I'd say send a Whaaaambulance to West Bloomfield, MI, but I reckon Tom would just chase it.
Nate (Madison)
You get it Matt? Why would the Brewers hit Manny on purpose down 10 runs? On that note, Manny deserves to be hit each day because he's a cheater.
Ryan (NY)
12:10 1st pitch Buzz. Cards vs my joke of a team whos 2b sprained his ankle trying to avoid a glove on the dugout steps.
Matt (IN)
The Cardinals do play today Buzz, so I guess that guy is right.
Jordan (Peoria)
They play at 11:10 today, so he at least has that going for him.
stephanie (cincy)
I got a message from one of my facebook friends. Seems that mean girl is "disappointed" that I didn't respond to friend request. Well, I am disappointed she stole my best friend and had sleep overs without inviting me. So there.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Of the remaining non-accused players, who would be the biggest news if revealed to be on the 2003 list? It's got to be Pujols, right?
Buzzmaster (10:17 AM)
Pujols, Jeets, Griffey - the triumvrate of fried chicken kings.
1962 (Cincy)
Thanks for finally letting go of me, Steph.
Ryan (San Diego)
Way to be the bigger person Steph
Christian (High Point, NC)
It was in 3rd grade, Stephanie. It's time to let go.
Karen (Oregon)
Buzz,I was watching CNN this morning about google voice.Have you tried it yet?
Buzzmaster (10:18 AM)
No thanks. Not sure I want someone transcribing my voicemails.
JB (TX)
Those Wisconsin trains won't be so high speed once all the fat people get on them and weigh them down. You know, because people in Wisconsin are fat.
Drew (Buffalo)
Mainly because Buzz always talks with food in his mouth
Marc (Big D)
I love that BK offered a free Whopper for dumping 10 friends on facebook.
Big Z (via mobile)
*I* am the fried chicken king
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I think Griffey would be the most shocking. I mean, he's one of a few that almost everyone agrees is clean.
1-800-GTOVRIT (Cincy)
stephanie, give me a call sometime.
Buzzmaster (10:20 AM)
Sorry, I realized I totally messed that one up...It's Pujols, Jeets, Griffey - three members of the Pentavirate.
Jonathan (Madtown)
Thanks shark week!!!! Striking fear in Americans even in the Midwest.
Marc (Big D)
All of the injuries Griffey had in that short period of time scare me. Could they have been his body breaking down from PED use in the 90s?
Mean girl (Cincinnati)
She also doesnt know that I used to cheat off her either
Bob (Lowell)
Buzz has a googlevoice. That's why he isn't on the radio.
zach (Oregon)
Buzz,my neighbor won't stop complaining about how her daughter is obsessed with Hairy Potter.He is worried about how she might try wizardry.
Brian (Madison, WI)
We're not fat, we're big boned.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Add Maddox to your Pentavorite, Buzz.
Chris (Philly)
Isn't penta a prefix for 5? Who are the other 2?
Tom (River North)
I live every week like it's shark week.
Nate (Madison)
Actually Texas has a higher obesity ranking than Wisconsin. Sorry JB.
Christian (High Point, NC)
"Dad, how can you hate The Colonel?" "Because he puts a secret ingredient in his chicken that makes you crave it fortnightly, smarta--"
Buzzmaster (10:22 AM)
You win...Glad someone picked up on that.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
Hairy Potter Ugh
JB (TX)
Where's Rich Rod for that Zack in Oregon post? Jeez...
Eric (Livingston)
Buzz, did you wake up one morning and think, "I know what I want to do with my life. I'm going to chat with people online!"
Buzzmaster (10:23 AM)
Something like that.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
"HEAD! Paper, now!"
Jordan (Peoria)
He tells Matt Damon not to get jealous because he has been chatting with babes all day
Mike (Boston)
yeah i wake up to buzz
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
That boy's head is like Sputnik!
Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)
People who wake up one day and decide to chat with people on the internet need to get lives.
Dr. James Andrews (AL)
In honor of Mark Prior being released, I'm having a special: Get one Tommy John surgery, get the other for free!
Buzzmaster (10:25 AM)
I don't think he ever had TJ surgery. It was always shoulder problems.
The Suits (Bristol)
Actually we woke up one morning and thought "Wouldn't it be great to have some clown bring us coffee and breakfast at the office every morning."
Nate (Madison)
So I went disc golfing for the first time last night, with a couple beers of course, well it went a little better than I thought it would. Just 12 over after 18.
Edinson Volquez (Cincy)
Dr Andrews, I'll be right over.
Buzzmaster (10:26 AM)
And Dusty Baker does it again.
Eric (Livingston)
Did you take the new high speed train to get to the disc golf course?
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
I know this is stupid , but I have no idea of what disc golf is.
Al (Green Bay)
Nate: Do you ever go a full day without drinking? Be honest now.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
So, I was at the SWB minor league game last night and some old lady in front of me told me I was eating my nachos too loud. I told her this was a baseball game and the noise of nachos being eaten ranked about the 74th loudest noise right now. Sheesh.
chaz (sa tx)
disc golf= extreme frisby??
Joel Zumaya (DL -- Constantly)
Can I have Edinson's free surgery?
Marc (Charlotte)
Why do they have to call it a high speed train? It's not like they'd spend millions on a slow train.
Rich (Douglas AK)
Dusty has made his 7 player referral bonus to Dr. Andrews.
Brian (Madison, WI)
I have to admit, Nate takes days off. I drink more than him, but not even I go every day.
Prince Fielder (LA)
JB, I eat loudly too. It's a badge of honor.
Tom (River North)
Disc golf = frisbee golf. Or frolf, if you will...
Clay (Charlotte)
Disc golf is sorta golf for hippies.
Tom (River North)
Marc, millions have been spent on a slow train. It's called Amtrak. It once took me 9 hours to get from Chicago to Ann Arbor. It's 240 miles.
Robbi (Clinton Ky)
So you throw a frisbee at a hole?
Marc (Charlotte)
Slow is a relative term.
Neal (Philly)
a metal basket, Robbi
Ryan (NY)
u make up ur own holes, like trash cans, trees. depends where you are playing
Dave Dombrowski (Detroit)
I spent $29 million on the D-train. Huge mistake.
JB (TX)
ONB?
Buzzmaster (10:30 AM)
Let's do it...
b (MA)
WHen it startin
Eli (NY)
Hey all! I'm signing a new contract as the highest paid player in the NFL!! You don't think the NY crowd will turn on me if I keep putting up middling numbers, do you?
Katie (Phoenix)
Unfortunately, I just read about our boy Jarrod Parker getting shut down for the season with elbow tightness. Have you heard if he'll be needing TJ, and will he still be considered the D'Backs' top prospect when you publish next year's BA Prospect Handbook?
Mike (Boston )
SUP BUZZ. let us begin
Ben (Leland Grove)
Your thoughts on Aaron Hicks' slow start in Beloit?
David (Bakersfield, Ca)
I'm originaly from the St.Louis area, does anyone think that the Cardnials underrated pitching staff and our two big hitters Pujols and Holliday can get us to the World Series title again?
Chris Marrero (Miami Florida)
What Is Pat Riley Doing! we Dident Get Odom. We lost Jemario Moon. looks like were not Getting Boozer. Is WADE next? Miami would be heartbroken
Chris Marrero (Miami Florida)
Can Some One Please Give The Florida Marlins Some respect they are 55-50 and in the middle of a wild card race they have been playing well all they talk about is the mets and the mets The Marlins are 5 games ahead. Give me a break
Matthew (Bridgeport, Ohio)
Do you think that there should be a limit on the amount of "free passes" or "lucky dogs" a driver can get in a NASCAR race? I don't believe so, after the elimination of the racing back to the yellow. But some people believe so. Just wanted to get your opinion on this.
Trevor (OR)
Buzz, I really wanna wake up at 7 but I'm washing my jd down with a hefeweizen so I'll take a rain check till 1pm
Scoot (CT)
Even though Plax was wrong in bringing a weapon to a night cliub with him, don't you think after the Forrest murder these sport stars do feel the need to protect themselves by caring weapons? Maybe if Forrest had a gun he would still be alive??
peterjmiranda (hanford,ca)
shaq is done... hes only going to hurt the cavs chances of winning a title, lets not forget what happened in phoenix!! im sorry but that was a pathetic attempt to keeping lebron.... this is coming from a shaq fan believe it or not
Brian Andies (East TN)
Mike Vick was on TV talking to some kids from his highschool. When is he going to speak to the media or give televised press conference? It's time we hear from Mike before we go any further.
E.McGriddle (Golden Arches)
You are fascinated by me, because I am essentially the childhood product of bacon soaked in maple syrup. And a few years ago, McDonald?s turned this into an actual product, me. I am pancake-like biscuits that take the filling for an Egg McMuffin, which is an egg, a pork product, in this case bacon, and cheese. I'm just layers of fat, salt and sugar. You know, for instance, the muffin itself is white flour, refined flour, which is essentially sugar, and it?s injected with three types of fat. There?s salt. The egg is fat and salt. The bacon is fat, salt and flavorings. The cheese is fat and salt. And then it?s topped by another biscuit, which, again, is fat, salt and sugar. Infinite variations of fat, salt and sugar, that's why you can't stop thinking about me. Breakfast Chat, anyone?
Buzzmaster (10:31 AM)
That was the best one....And that's it...
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Bravo to the Dombrowski post.
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
As long as I don't have to wear golf clothes, that sound sinteresting
Clinton (Indianapolis)
It's a high-speed train because it's faster than a regular freight train or passenger train. Think the bullet trains they have in Japan.
Brian (Madison, WI)
I actually had to read the McGriddle post. Made my head hurt, but worth it.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
JB, you owe all of us a huge apology for asking for that Pulse.
Jonathan (Madtown)
Chris in Florida, how are we supposed to respect the Marlins when their own fans dont go to games and respect them???
Buzzmaster (10:32 AM)
We've covered this. They do respect them. They're all at home watching the game so they can get the team the No. 2 TV ratings in all of baseball!
Ryan (NY)
Being a Colts fan that lives in NY I like Eli, but him making more money than Peyton is a joke, too bad Eli is only in 1 or 2 commercials and Peyton makes mad dough from that so he probably is still makiin more.
Matt (IN)
Uh oh, deranged Marlins fan strikes again.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
MMMMM....greasy breakfast food. Beer me a McGridle.
Marc (Big D)
Most of their fans have to be in bed by the 3rd inning so it really isn't feasible to pay for a ticket.
Clay (Charlotte)
Where's MIA Sam when you need him?
Buzzmaster (10:33 AM)
Duhhhh. He's MIA.
Clay (Charlotte)
Wow, what an ONB...I think it just took 2 years off my life.
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
Clay: He's MIA of course.
Tom (River North)
Eli has just as many SB rings as Peyton...
Austin (Iowa)
Buzz when will there be an nba chat next?
Buzzmaster (10:34 AM)
Next Thursday - John Hollinger.
Christian (High Point, NC)
Now I'm really craving a McGriddle ... damn you ONB!
Steve (Dallas, TX)
Louis, what do you consider golf clothes? is a collared shirt and non jean shorts really that big of deal?
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Clay: with a McGriddle you can take two more years away
Apollo Creed (Phily)
Buzz, you chat great, but I'm a great chatter.
Zach (Bloomington,MN)
paper planes
Buzzmaster (10:35 AM)
Are there paper snakes on those paper planes?
Zach (Bloomington,MN)
never Austin
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
paper bags
Zach (Bloomington,MN)
Tim Tebow is the jort master
Hammy (College Frat House)
Hey bros. Can someone get me a McGriddle, bro favor!
Patrick ( Louisville )
We need an ONB: Episode V: Oatmeal Strikes Back
David (Banning)
que snakes on a plane post!
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
McGriddles are The Suck. Give me a steak, egg
Greg (Ellicott City)
Tom, most chatters cant afford steak.
Neal (Philly)
I will not wear shorts for disc golf. Too many ticks and poison ivy around. It did suck getting stung by a bee because my friend's disc landed near a bee hive.
Jordan (Peoria)
Or like Buzz turn down free steak
Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)
damn ampersand cutting off the rest of my post: should read: give me a steak, egg and cheese sammich anyday.
Samuel L. Jackson (Plane)
I'm sick of these mother-lovin' snakes on this mother-lovin' plane!
Scott (Indy)
Do they sell prune juice at Marlins games?
Samuel L. Jackson (Plane)
DAMN IT BUZZ! DONT MAKE JOKES ABOUT SNAKES ON A PLANE! NEXT THING YOU KNOW THERE WILL BE SNAKES IN THIS CHAT!
Louis (Fredericton, NB)
Don't mind the shorts, I think most of the polo seen on the PGA tour are terrible. It seems that it is more important to show a weird color schemes that people will see from far away that making a shirt people would want to waer
Eric (Livingston)
I guess Neal hasn't heard of bug spray yet
Ed Hochuli (AZ)
Bro Favor? Immediate game misconduct. You can't make up stupid slang like that.
Tom (River North)
Yesterday someone complained on SNTV that there should be less football talk since it's baseball season and now someone is asking for NBA chat?
Rich (Douglas AK)
Did ESPN use cash for clunkers to get rid of the Pulse for an upgrade?
Buzzmaster (10:39 AM)
We didn't need the government to help getting rid of that fool.
chaz (sa tx)
the sad part is that "bro favor" is really used.
Matt (IN)
Game misconduct? Cmon Ed, you don't call hockey.
Clay (Charlotte)
4 days until Football, it's the HOF game but who cares?
Christian (High Point, NC)
I'm a big fan of the bacon egg and cheese bagel at McD's.
ken (indaina)
lions will win 10 games this year
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
The only SNTV complaint is that there is too much Colin and not enough Michelle.
Tom (River North)
So Buzz, is it true that ESPN has banned its employees from tweeting about sports related content before posting it on ESPN?
Buzzmaster (10:41 AM)
Yeah, that's smart. I'm going to post this big time breaking news story on my Twitter feed where I have 75 followers instead of working my bum off to get it on to ESPN.com which has millions of visitors every day.
Jordan (Peoria)
Buzz is it true that ESPN banned you from the cafeteria until everyone else had a chance to go through?
Buzzmaster (10:42 AM)
That, on the other hand, is true.
Al (Green Bay)
Ken (Indiana) = Jon Kitna
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
Whoa..my last post sounded kinda creepy. I'm only partially creepy...honest...you have to believe me.
Tom (River North)
Ken, does that include pre-season games? Because even then, you're probably 5 games over.
Reggie (Boston)
Am I the only one that thinks Twitter is absurd and should be shut down?
Fake Buzz (Bristol)
@the_suits lol u guys suck and im never cleaning a restroom again
Marc (Charlotte)
Ken... Don't do drugs.
JB (TX)
Is it just me, or is other JB a little 'fred in omaha' over this Michelle chick?
chaz (sa tx)
Al from green bay= FAIL!! kitna with the cowboys now.
Hecklers (background)
*cough* company man *cough*
Drew (Buffalo)
I've never been to twitter, don't really have intentions of either.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
I enjoy football, but honestly: It's the preseason. Means absolutely nothing.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
I actually signed up for Twitter the other day. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. Now Buzz needs to sign up so I can see how much he really eats all day long.
Tom (River North)
Jon Kitna doesn't play for the Lions. Ken = Daunte Culpepper.
fred (omaha)
J.B. i don't find you creepy at all
Christian (High Point, NC)
Actually, twitter has some great uses for information dissemination (cf the McHale firing). The problem is that 90% of the tweets are about somebody's cat.
Tom (River North)
I'm on Twitter and find it informative. Posts from people like Bill Simmons, Peter King and MGoBlog always have good info you might not get on the websites until hours later.
Clay (Charlotte)
The last tweet I did was because they were playing Latin music at a chinese buffet...I thought that was important information.
Brian (Madison, WI)
I've only been tempted to join Twitter just to follow certain people that would be entertaining. I don't think I would actually want to tweet myself.
Buzzy (Bristol)
Please stop calling me fat. I find that very hurtful, I'll have you know my fat problem is glandular
Jacob (Columbus)
Buzz, may i ask you a simple question?
Buzzmaster (10:46 AM)
Done.
Don (San Francisco)
Best twitter I've heard of is Barry Zito "with bro Eric Brynes, watching the sunset"
Greg (Ellicott City)
Whole hours later? Oh no. Whatever am I to do?
Jacob (Columbus)
buzz, what's your take on paula abdul leaving american idol?
Buzzmaster (10:47 AM)
The show's about to jump the shark. It will be off the air in the next few seasons.
Doc Brown (Hill Valley)
Will Twitter tell me about the Libyians?
Jonathan (Madtown)
Brians Tweet: Just killed another 30 pack of Milwaukees Best Light what to do next? 7:56 AM August 5th, 2009
Jacob (Columbus)
Good point.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Brian can't make up his mind about whether or not to tweet. Anyone shocked?
Clay (Charlotte)
Paula needs to take a little...ummm...vacation to a....ummmm...retreat before she trys to come back.
Jordan (Peoria)
Good use of jump the shark during Shark Week!
Tom (River North)
Were the Jacob (Columbus) posts from the ONB?
Buzzmaster (10:49 AM)
You know better than that.
Clinton (Indianapolis)
vacation to a retreat = stint in rehab.
Zach (Bloomington,MN)
Buzz,do you tweet? Iwould find you're tweets entertaining
Christian (High Point, NC)
I don't know, Buzz. I figured AI (the show, not the basketball player) would've fallen apart by now and it hasn't. I think people may actually be watching for the talent, not the judges.
Dan (Buffalo, NY)
Just got here Buzz, glad to see I didn't miss much
Marc (Big D)
I think the majority of people who diss facebook, twitter and the like just do it because it is cool to be counter-culture.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
OK...I'm out folks. I actually have a ton of work to do. That ain't cool. I'll see you all this afternoon for SNTV. Can't wait to see Michelle. Me likey. Oh, by the way - Chipotle and a Snapple.
Lee Harvey Oswald (Book Depository)
@JFK: Duck!
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Agreed, Marc. I forget who coined the term, but it's called reverse snobbery.
Matt (IN)
A guy I know was just in Florida a couple weeks ago and caught a 400 pound hammerhead shark. Yeah, that must have been fun.
Nate (Madison)
Wow, a JFK post? Too soon?
Amy W (England)
They tried to make me go to rehab, but I said noo, no, no

JB (TX)
Lunch: something light, it's cardio day at the gym. Also, I'm on Facebook and all, but Twitter just seems lame. Unless you're a celeb or a celeb groupie why would anyone care?
Christian (High Point, NC)
On this day in 1858, the first trans-Atlantic telegraph cable was completed. Clinton, do you remember what was discussed in the first trans-Atlantic chat?

Hope it's not the dreaded deli tray, Jordan.
Ed Hochuli (Chat Ref)
5 yard penalty on everyone who attempted to bring Twitter Talk into the MB. Come on people.
Matt (MI)
thats fair
David (Banning)
speaking of chili, did your co worker ever come in with the home made..........you know what he or she probably did, they didnt tell you cause,you know your fat.
Jordan (Peoria)
We typically sample our own products at the meeting but every now and again R
Clinton (Indianapolis)
Wait, we talked about Facebook yesterday and we didn't get flagged. Is that where Hochuli draws the line?
Tom (River North)
Give Clinton some credit. He was around for the first phone call, not the first trans-Atlantic telegraph.
David (Banning)
Gotta go to work. Have a good day Buzz and Nation. Peace
Zach (Bloomington,MN)

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)
People who call Buzz fat need to get lives. I mean they're right, because he is fat, but still...
